I remember reading a while back that 4Kids only picked up the dub rights for OP because they wanted some other series and whoever they were negotiating with basically shoved it into the deal, is there any truth to that or is that just completely off?

Did Blackbeard get the bounty for Ace or did the offer to become a warlord supersede that?

The fact that there was a definitive "finish line" in Laugh Tale doesn't appear to have become common knowledge until Roger went the distance, which makes me think the initial lure of the GL was just people trying to figure out what the gently caress was even down there.

Like, what would have even been the plan there? They get to Laugh Tale and Croc pops out of Teach's mouth shouting "YOU WERE EXPECTING BLACKBEARD BUT IT WAS ME, CROCODILE!"?

Crosspeice posted:The fact that Ussop didn't do the big brained play of firing it into Page One or Ulti's mouth, or even Sasaki, means it likely doesn't work on actual devil fruits. Yeah that's my guess as well. The thing about the Gifters is that they all seem to be permanently transformed into actual animals to some degree, not "otherwise perfectly normal human/reindeer/sword who can turn into an(other) animal at will". Maybe if she used it on someone like chopper that would work, but I don't think any of the top-tier officers really meet that criteria. Maaaaaaybe Kaido or King since I don't think they've actually explained what their deals are yet, but that seems like a bit of a stretch. Edit: VVV gently caress cherry pies.

I didn't mind Sabo that much though I also think he would have been much better received if they had just introduced him at the beginning of Impel Down/Marineford or alluded to him more throughout the arc instead of revealing him like right at the very end.

Starsfan posted:Hold on a second, why did Perospero just walk off after beating Wanda and Carrot? Why not finish them off? He had no problem trying to execute Brook and Chopper back in WCI... I mean obviously Oda isn't just going to start killing off characters in isolation of the rest of the story, but you would think it would make more sense if some other friendly forces had chased him off of the defeated Minks or rescued them in some fashion. I think he straight up doesn't give a poo poo. He's not exactly jazzed about the alliance and its already been a rough day. Yeah he got sadistic with Brook and Chopper but that was after the Straw Hats attacked the tea party, did a real number on their rep as an emperor crew and on top of all that BM was in full Hungry (Wo)man mode so poo poo was already bad and he needed to tie off loose ends. IIRC Carrot is just some tagalong from his perspective and he's never even met Wanda so why waste the effort when they're already down for the count?

I'm really wondering how CP-0 plays into all this, are they in Kaido's camp or what? They need Wano to keep up the weapon shipments and its hard to see how Kaido turning the whole place into Super-Tortuga helps with that. Edit: Also is Queen down for the count or did Chopper just get a good hit in? I'd love it if he got a proper fight. When's the last time he had one, I want to say loving Enis Lobby?

Dr Subterfuge posted:I think CP-0 is hoping that both sides are significantly weakened so that they can force terms on the victor that are favorable to the WG. That makes sense. On that note, I would guess that If Orochi didn't bite it then he's probably gonna show up again in their custody so they can prop him back up as their figurehead, with the looming threat of "no more loving around with us or you bite it for real this time" hanging over him.

Julias posted:Overall I did enjoy the chapter, really happy to be right about Orochi being alive, Kanjuro being alive feels odd, did O-kiku not confirm if he was dead back at the start of act 3? From the way he was going on it seemed like he expected to die from his wounds pretty soon. Its possible the only reason he's still standing right now is pure willpower/spite.

The World Inferno posted:Ya know, this arc is called 'the four emperors saga'. Wonder when Shanks will show up, or Blackbeard. Or, if we're going to find out after this is all done that Shanks is holding Blackbeard from interfering with this fight. Especially if he defeats and/or kills Shanks sure would set up the next arc wonderfully. IIRC, Blackbeards busy sticking his nose in whatever's happening in Alabasta right now so as much as I would love for him to pull a Dark Horse Ze Ha Ha out of nowhere I don't think that's in the cards anytime soon, at least not until after Wano wraps up.

Also aren't reality shows in general just absurdly cheep to make? Even the less successful ones tend to turn a profit, or so I heard? In any case, its still got a ways to go before it catches up with One Piece. Maybe they'll have a 1000 episodes extravaganza in season 79 or whenever.

Larryb posted:That’s the one, yeah. If we're just talking OP specifically then I think there's only the two prototypes floating around. If you're talking in a more general sense though, a lot of his early works had elements and ideas in them that either evolved or were just integrated wholesale into OP proper. Wanted! is a pretty fascinating look at some of the stuff he was throwing around during One Piece's formative years.

Arist posted:Yes. Pretty sure it's so people don't run bots to scan the pages and upload them. It's still an absurd amount of manga to read in a day. I had some time off work in the lead-up to chapter 1000 and decided to do a full read through of all 999 chapters released up to that point. Even doing literally nothing but sitting in front of my computer reading OP all day I never once managed to hit that cap. I think the closest I ever got was like 70 or something and I somehow felt mentally exhausted by the end of it. Its not something I would recommend anyone ever actually try, if for no other reason than its easy for your eyes to start glazing over when you stare at a monitor for that long.

jassa posted:Last we saw Blackbeard, he was gathering his crew to go after something the WG were also targeting. I've seen speculation that he could be going after Uranus or a particular devil fruit, but personally I suspect it's the missing road poneglyph, since that's critical to plot progression. Thoughts? Doesn't he already have the road poneglyph since IIRC Whitebeard was the last guy to have it and BB pretty much grabbed all his poo poo?

Bege didn't exactly profit from WCI but he still managed to haul rear end out of there relatively intact; I don't see Hawkins walking from this unless some serious dark horse ally poo poo happens to pull him out of there.

Yeah I probably should have specified "with his crew and family intact", I was referring more to his intended goal since the whole reason he set up WCI in the first place was to take a crack at Big Mom and that obviously did not work out the way he planned.

I was like 100% expecting fakeout deaths for all the scabbards no matter what, but the Punk Hazard callback legitimately made me laugh out loud. Also calling it now, Kanjuro being not quite dead just yet is going to turn into a running gag.

over the raid having no stakes or tension and Kaido and Big Mom being a joke because if they don't brutally murder anyone then obviously they arent actually as big and powerful as the story has built them up to be right?

I do sometimes wonder what Oda’s original plan was, back before OP really blew up and he decided to expand the series. Like I think I read somewhere that Alabasta was originally going to be the big “endgame” island which is why that arc was so much longer and involved that any before it.

Kild posted:But CP9 got clowned on by a small time east blue crew and lost something more valuable than a devil fruit. Their only known punishment was being on the run for a few months before coming back and being promoted with not even Spandam going to super jail level 5. I imagine we'll find out more about what's going on there when the inevitable rematch goes down. I can't imagine the WG let them off the hook that easy because Enies Lobby was a massive gently caress-up and only about 90% of it was Spandam's fault. There's got to be some kind of arrangement going on behind the scenes; that or maybe Lucci wanted another go at Luffy that badly and the WG decided to give the literal murder machine another shot because gently caress it why not?
